Position

Purpose:

Provide Radiological Engineering support for assigned projects and facilities, including the Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) Radiation Protection (RP) Program. Review and evaluate both proposed and ongoing radiological work activities to facilitate planning and support for radiological operations by identifying, analyzing, and mitigating radiological hazards using engineering principles and work controls. Maintain a field presence during radiological activities to ensure that proper radiological controls are implemented in work practices and that ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles are followed.

Develop, review, and implement procedures, technical documents, reports, work control documents, and more, while conducting internal assessments, instrumentation evaluations, radiological software management, monitoring, and data analysis to ensure adherence to the Radiological Control Manual, RP Procedures, and relevant regulations. Assist with health physics evaluations and promote continuous improvement in the RP program by identifying issues, deficiencies, opportunities for enhancement, and best practices, and by taking appropriate follow-up actions.

Minimum Qualification Requirements (Education/Experience):

This is a multi-level posting and the successful candidate will be placed at the appropriate level dependent on depth and breadth of proven experience and skills. At the Idaho Environmental Coalition, compensation decisions are determined using factors such as education, relevant experience, and other credentials.
